McGinty's Irish Bar

Pub

👍👍 The Guinness is the best you will find out of Ireland. The Sunday traditional session is so good you would think you were in a very good bar anywhere in Ireland. They sell Tayto’s! A lovely bar.

Smithfield Tavern

Pub

👍👍 The new payment system at the bistro is intrusive but the staff are professional and attentive and my son and I always talk about how good the steak is for days after we eat here.

Mount Sheridan Tavern

Pub

👍 If you live in Mount Sheridan you should make this your local. You can walk to the pub and they have lovely staff. They have pokies, but they are not my scene. They serve nice meals as well and have specials that make it affordable.

The Downunder Bar

Bar

😠 My partner and I wanted to come here to have dinner, the customer service was revolting, we got served by your manager and she was just so rude to us. The food not only took a very long time, but the chicken was so dry, chips and gravy was very soggy but tasted OK. They even got my order wrong. Con...

Barron Falls Hotel

Pub

😠 The staff here were horrible from the moment we walked through the door.

Grafton Hotel

Pub

👍👍 Anna-Maria is a top notch bar attendant. Had one bad experience here but the Grafton is still a good place to go. Food is still great & most staff are polite & courteous. I try to support local businesses as much as possible. Can’t hold a grudge for a place just because 2 staff made it uncomfortable...
